WE HAD A MEETING TODAY (AUG 16TH) WITH CUSTOMS OFFICIALS AND WAS TOLD THAT ANY TRUCK OTHER THAN A 1/2 TON CARRYING A CAMPER WOULD NOT BE ISSUED A VEHICLE PERMIT! They go by the GVW on the vehicle and combined with the camper is over the Mexican Law limits for a tourist permit - Motorhomes are exempted from this! There can be some exceptions with an "additional fee"...(lol).. However they did tell us that if you can get the "Truck/Camper registered in your state as a "motorhome", they would issue a 10 year permission. >TOURIST VISA PENDING PRICE INCREASE<- We've heard from our Mexico Government sources that the FMM Tourist Visa may have a rate increase as soon as next week. If this happens, any tourist visa that hasn't been validated at the border crossing will be null and void and No refunds will be made. Therefore if you're holding an un-activated visa you need to get to the border ASAP and have it activated. Just as soon as we confirm this possible price increase and the amount, I will send you that information. Remember, always put 180 days in the area of how long you will be staying. This is so you don't have to purchase another Visa within the next 6 months. Wishing you the best for 2017, E.B Adair Jr., President ADA VIS Global Mexico Insurance Fellow Mexico Explorer, Since my last communication I've received a lot of requests for what does the Driver's License insurance policy cover. Below is what we put together explaining the coverage's and what the policy is best used for. E.B. Adair, Jr., President Veteran / Native American ADA VIS Global Mexico Insurance Just click on the Mexico Insurance button below to log on to your account. Your comments and questions are welcome. Mexico Driver’s License Insurance Policy Details One of the most requested and popular Mexico Insurance policies just got better with ADA VIS Global and Seguros El Potosi S.A. This policy is conveniently attached to an individual’s driver’s license insuring the diver on any vehicle he/she may operate in the Republic of Mexico. This policy DOES NOT include any physical damage, or theft to the vehicle. The following are specific coverage’s that are included in the policy: • Perfect liability policy for Motorcycles or multiple vehicles that are taken to Mexico and are only concerned about public liability. • Policy coverage throughout the entire Republic of Mexico • Issued on an annual basis only • Insures US, Canadian, and Mexico plated vehicles as long as registration is valid. • Policy limits up to $100CSL (combined single limit) • Will cover rental vehicles • All policies include Legal Aid bail bond services • Vehicle / Motorcycle must have valid highway registration for coverage to be effective. • Extends liability coverage to whatever is coupled to the vehicle. Is anyone else insured under my driver’s license policy? No, this policy insures the specific driver’s license that is stated on the policy for any vehicle they may operate. If you have multiple drivers you must purchase a driver’s license policy for each individual or consider placing coverage on the vehicle specifically. Does this policy cover me while I am driving my motor home and towing my car? Yes, this policy will cover both vehicles for liability while coupled together once uncoupled liability will follow you to whatever vehicle you are operating.
